December Seventeenth

Pos/Neg

Positive is dark space while negative is the background area. The checkered pattern is the negative space and the star bursts are the positive space.

Line

The three types of line are actual, imaginary, and invisible. My actual lines are the lines created by the paintbrushes, my imaginary lines are the lines in between the grasses, and my invisible lines are in the sky and the ground. 

Space

Space is created by the placement of objects. The higher up an object is placed, the farther away it seems. Oppositely, the lower an object on a page, the closer is seems. I created distance by placing smaller objects on top of the page. To create a short distance, I placed larger objects on the bottom of the image.

Shape

Texture is created by placing different patterns on top of each other. To create shape and texture on my image, I placed different natural patterns on top of a graffiti wall pattern. This created contrast and allowed the flower silhouettes to really pop on the page.
